Five is an exciting book and a quick read, The teen relationship issues feel real, and the story is wellpaced, This isn't just a relationship book, however, There's plenty of action, and a theme of belonging and finding your place in the world, I highly recommend this book for teens who like fastpaced fantasy with realistic teen characters dealing with coming of age issues,
sitelinkRead my entire review, Is it a dark, gothic romanceadventure novel Let's stick with that label, . . because it's also quite well done,

In this sequel to The Unwritten Girl, James Bow brings back his two wondeful characters, older and wiser.
Three years after their first adventure, Rosemary and Peter are still best friends but they aren't alone anymore, Rosemary is no longer the nerd who gets picked on and Peter is no longer the new kid, They have new friends, including some of the bullies that used to pick on Rosemary and led to her and Peter's introduction,
The story in Fathom Five was amazing, It was something so original and unlike anything I have read before, I thought that the first book was very unique and that James Bow would not be able to top that but he has with Fathom Five.
Full of sirens, mermaids and mermen, and of course, humans,
I thought that at first I wasn't going to get a ton of background on the other characters but James Bow did not leave me hanging.
All my questions about the characters were answered without being written too plainly, The details in the book were wonderful and I absolutely loved how vivid the characters were, even the bad ones,
Fathom Five could be a stand alone book, There is no need to read The Unwritten Girl to understand what is going on in this one, I'm not saying you shouldn't read it but if this one appeals to you more, there is no reason to read the first.
So far I have loved both of The Unwritten Books and I am just now starting the third and final book, at least for now.

Rosemary and Peter have returned in this stand alone sequel to THE UNWRITTEN GIRL,

Plus, she'll have to sneak in, since she's been banished and faces death if she's caught,
James Bow is rapidly becoming one of my favorite authors, While part of me misses the time with Rosemary and Peter between the two books, it's really just because I like the characters so very much! The jump in time is done so well that you, as the reader, don't really question it.
And the characters themselves are precisely where I would have imagined them a few years later, Okay, maybe not "precisely," what with the crazy landinthemist thing,
I'm going to stop rambling and just tell you that this is a really, really good book, It's part adventure, part fantasy, part love story without being too mushy, and you should definitely read it! I really enjoyed this book.
It was fast paced no lagging moments, It had me guessing along the whole way, I wish I had read bookbut I don't think it was necessary, Good read. On the surface, Peter McAllister has a good life: a good school, good friends, good times, So what if his best friend is a girl and sort of a geek And so what if she might be more than a friend.
Underneath, it's a different story, It's been years since the death of his parents landed him in this small town with his hardlythere uncle, but he still feels as if his life in Clarksbury is just an inch deep.
Does he really belong Only Rosemary seems real, But that reality comes crashing down the first time he kisses her and she rejects him,
Then a mysterious woman named Fiona appears, She tells him he's a changeling a fairy child left to live in the human world and that it's time to come home.
Can Rosemary convince him that Fiona is lying Or is it possible that Fiona is telling the truth I was born in downtown Toronto on April,and lived there until my folks moved up to Kitchener inso I could attend the University of Waterloo.
Ive lived in Kitchener ever since, Ive been trained as an urban planner, and Ive worked as a database manager, web designer, circulation manager, administrative assistant, layout designer and office manager.
The one consistent thing about my varied academic and professional career has been a love of writing, .
